For the first month and a half of Season 3 it seemed like Khazix was an unstoppable force, being what I would call something like an AD Katarina with his reset potential, not to mention that huge range with W / Evolved E and the completely broken damage on his Q. So why did people stop playing him? He barely got nerfed and yet I never see him picked or banned. Did people figure out counters? Seekers Armguard OP? I myself can't figure it out. I thought Warmogs meta was the reason but I remember he was quite a big fan of it as well, as it synergized with that evolved R active. ;~; | ||

i've been spamming her since last week in order to get a better feel for how she really plays. i think she makes a decent pick in certain situations. mostly for her ult. when they buffed her tidal wave speed it actually made it a bit more usable as an initiate. i think her laning phase is pretty weak though. it's hard for a +nami lane to outright win. the one thing that i hate most is how tidecaller's blessing is nearly invisible. i can almost never cast it on anybody because no one realizes they have it on them and it's just a waste. | ||

Huge reset leap and W much stronger It was because he got nerfed. Especially at lower elo, people dont seem to realize that nerfs are not there to remove that champion from play, but to make them stop eclipsing other champions completely. Whether or not Kha'zix still does that I dunno, but he is still really strong. I recently locked him in without any forethought, lagged in teamfights and still completely carried - after that went back to permabanning him. | ||

Would you say that her laning phase is like Janna's? In that she is kind of mediocre because if she misses Q she is useless, but out of lane her kit makes her exceedingly dangerous? Just curious because Im looking to buy her. | ||

Would you say that her laning phase is like Janna's? In that she is kind of mediocre because if she misses Q she is useless, but out of lane her kit makes her exceedingly dangerous? Just curious because Im looking to buy her. Hm... That's a pretty good comparison. I'd say you rely on the Q a little less than Janna because your E is deceptively good, but if you really need to hit your Q and it misses, you can be in a very dangerous spot. She has advantages over Janna because sustain, disadvantages because Janna's Q is way easier to hit (but Nami's Q is a lot more rewarding when you DO hit.) You can play the lane phase like a Soraka if you get behind, though - something Janna has a harder time doing. It takes a lot more mana for Nami to play like this than Soraka, though. You kindof want to be harassing by using E on yourself and being a dick with E/W. (remember, you have hella movespeed when you E yourself, run in, smack them once or twice and slow them, W them or yourself, then back off while they're still slowed) Only E your carry or someone else when it's clear there's a fight going on and they'd be silly to attack minions. E is secretly VERY good to cast on yourself during lane, as you have the freedom to not need to CS for the full duration. (It's also really helpful to put on your carry when you're stuck under tower and they're trying to pick up all the CS) Oh, junglers won't realize it, but putting it on them when they come charging in to gank is also awesome. Movespeed and slow power (less useful if they have redbuff - probably better to put on yourself in that case) She is definitely a lot better in full teamfights. Her ult is downright AMAZING for them, useful as an initiate or disengage or followup or counterinitiate. You get a guaranteed Q after your ult, get to bounce your heal around all over the place, and you can E a carry or frontliner knowing they aren't going to waste it. You then get further very-likely Q's following allies CC or just when enemies are too busy to dodge. Be patient with your Q though. Trying to catch someone with Q and missing can be devastating. Following up someone else's CC and extending it by another second, especially on multiple people, makes you feel amazing. Especially when it's a Diana or Orianna whose suck-in abilities are basically perfect for you to chain afterwards. Wombo combo. W>E>Q or E>W>Q The 3 sec duration buff to tidecaller's blessing will be giving us a lot more freedom, too. It's hard to get all 3 autos off (fear not - it's not a waste if you don't. It's a relatively short CD and as long as you get away while the enemy is still slowed you're doing it right) Spamming W makes you go oom, but holy cow is it so good at trading. It's like a slap in the face when you heal all the damage Lulu traded into you immediately upon bouncing the heal off her and onto yourself. I'm wondering if I should take a page out of elementz book and start getting chalice into a lategame grail. So mana hungry, and later on 40% CDR is disgustingly good. (Been getting zeke's, but I run oom so easily like that.) | ||

Will they get marned again? | ||
